It's going to rub (mainly in the rear) without extended bumpstops. I'm running the OME 2" (with 80K miles on the lift), 35's on ProComp wheels, flat fenders, and no bumpstop extensions. The rear rubs a bit at full "stuff". It's not the pinch seam that poses the issue; mine rub on the forward inner lip of the Bushwacker flares. Extensions would fix it.

Hope that helps ya'.

Thanks!
I run 35 s with a coil swap and flat fenders. No air dam and trimmed pinch seams . Look in my album you can see my flex and my rub points

You have to trim more than just the front corners to run 35s without 2-2.5" extended bumpstops.

You have to trim the entire edge along the perimeter of the pinch seams--front, top, and back--to run shorter or no extended bumpstops.

Planman is on the money from experience. 2014 Jkur. Bushwackers. 35x12.50 KM's on AEV Pintler. To keep the rubber off the top forward 90 degrees of pinch and inner fender I had to go Teraflex 2.75" bumps in the rear. And I still rub at max flex. I can do plastic trimming and probably go down to 2.25" of bump. Up front I have JKS 1.25" and never rub. On a ramp that works out to just a few mm of space between rubber and fender.

Yeah, I ended up cutting back the Bushwacker's to the factory pinch seam. I only have 5/8 aluminum block for a rear bumpstop now that I did it. (Before I had like an 1" 1/4.)

Where is the details on why we need bump stops, other than mentioned? Been using the search and came across you all

It will prolly fit, if you add wheel spacers or rims with a larger backspace. You may also have to trim the rear pinch seam. I would go ahead and trim it for 35s
